Hi Christine, Interesting to hear your experience. Many thanks, Sharon -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by UKSG - Connecting the Information Community [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Christine Hayes Sent: 18 January 2010 11:58 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] Ejournal cataloguing Hi, we have all our e-journals available on SwetsWise and recommend our users to search through SwetsWise for our journals rather than our library catalogue. This is because not all of the subscriptions are available on our library catalogue due to the fact that some of the providers, cannot provide us with marc 21 records . Some time ago our bibliographic librarian and myself took on the mammoth task of creating hundreds of records manually for our library catalogue, for certain large journal packages. It was soooo time consuming that we decided we would not to do this again and it was decided to use SwetsWise for our A-Z list of subscriptions. Unfortunately we do not have the benefit of a federated search engine which would improve the situation but we are considering this for the near future.

We currently manually catalogue both individual ejournal subscriptions and ejournals which come as a part of large packages, but are finding this difficult to sustain. It would be useful to hear of other libraries' experiences. I am happy to summarise for the list. 1. Does your institution manually catalogue both its individual ejournal subscriptions and ejournals which come as a part of large packages? 2. Do you use MARCit or a similar product? 3. Have there been any downsides from using MARCit, for example, in terms of reduced searchability of your catalogue? 4. If you answered yes to either of questions 1 or 2, what is your rationale for continuing to include ejournals in your library catalogue, rather than rely on the A-Z list of a product such as SFX? 5. Has anyone decided to abandon the cataloguing of ejournals (with perhaps the exception of individual subscriptions) in favour of the A-Z list in SFX (or similar product)?
